The Tillsonburg Kinettes are excited to welcome local women to their first Brunch and Bubbly event on Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Carriage Hall (25 Brock Street) from 10 a. m. – 2 p. m.
This ladies-only 19+ gathering features mimosas and bubbly, a tasty breakfast, silent auction with contributions from local businesses, and plenty of dancing. There might even be a surprise guest!
The Kinettes have usually hosted evening events, but this time they wanted to cater to those who don’t typically stay out late. Proposed by Kinette Rachelle Barrett, this daytime celebration with food, drinks, and dancing is just what’s needed.
“Several members eagerly jumped on board to brainstorm to make an event all our own,” Barrett said. “Preparation has been smooth. We are thankful to work with Marcel and Laurie of the Carriage Hall, who were immediately receptive when co-chairs Rachelle Barrett and Adele Black met with them about this idea in February. We have an active committee of 10 members who have all stepped up to make all the pieces fall into place.”
From noon to 2 p. m., the dance floor will be alive with music provided by The Wright DJ Services – The Main Man Marlon. The Kinettes have been sharing details about the event on their Facebook page and are welcoming requests for your favorite songs.
“We are thankful for discounted pricing offered by the Carriage Hall for the food, and the DJ – The Wright DJ Services, who also provided the music for our Ladies of the 80s night,” Barrett said. “The discounts allow more money to go back into the community.”
Tickets have been selling quickly and are available online via a link on the Kinettes Facebook page. Every $40 ticket sold helps make an impact, with all proceeds going back into the community.
“We would like everyone to know that all proceeds are put back into the community,” Barrett said. “With some of the proceeds we plan to make an October donation to Team Shan, Breast Cancer Awareness since Breast Cancer is something that has affected so many women and families, including Kinette members. Additionally, every year we support the Helping Hand Food Bank of Tillsonburg, planning to use event funds to continue that tradition. If there are any additional funds that can be allocated, all club members will vote on where those funds go.
